This package fails to install on a fresh Ubuntu 18.04.

My laptop has the UEFI boot security disabled. It is an ASUS N552VX.206.

jgr@zoe:~$ cat /sys/firmware/efi
cat: /sys/firmware/efi: No such file or directory

After installation, I tried to correct it, but if fails:

sudo apt -f install

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Looking at the file system, there is no /usr/lib/grub/i386-pc/modinfo.sh

jgr@zoe:~$ ls -l /usr/lib/grub/
total 20
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root    34 abr 29 14:54 grub-mkconfig_lib -> 
../../share/grub/grub-mkconfig_lib
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 16384 abr 29 14:56 x86_64-efi
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root  4096 abr 29 14:56 x86_64-efi-signed

There is another modinfo.sh script, but on a different folder:

jgr@zoe:~$ ls -l /usr/lib/grub/x86_64-efi/modinfo.sh 
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2475 mar  4 13:11 /usr/lib/grub/x86_64-efi/modinfo.sh

How to reproduce? Well, in my case I've tried several times to install
Ubuntu 18.04, and it always fails. Right now, the workaround is to
delete this package.
